    Fiat Grande Punto 2007 - first car
    Hi,

    I'm thinking of buying a FIAT Grande Punto 1.2 Active but always wondered the reliability of Grande Puntos. Does anyone who has one or had one previously recommend getting it as my first car?

    What are the pros and cons?

    Cheers.

    I dont have one but a girl i know from work has one. She really likes hers, and as far as i know, she hasnt had any problems or anything with it.
    I did have an older fiat punto, and had endless problems with it, but that was a bit older (w reg), from what ive heard fiats reliability has improved since the days when they made the older shape one which i had.

    I have this car, mine is just 1 year older. I LOVE my car. It's a fantastic car to drive, comfortable, it has some get up ansngo, it's smooth and it'd quiet. I haven't had any major problems with it. The only issue it has had was the heating broke, but that was easily fixed. I think it also holds it's sense of style over time. I don't think it looks aged or dated. I would always recommend it!
